Good info for Yugo SKS owners

Post by SKhiSm 59-66 »

Hey everybody,
I've had this shared elsewhere on the www since back around Christmas and the other day when I posted my M59, I was looking through old threads and realized I never shared it here. This link here is to Withergyld's old website, now archived in the Wayback Machine internet archive. Unfortunately, the pics are no longer active, but there's a lot of text with Yugo wisdom and the part I like best is the listings of the individual rifles and logbooks that were submitted for W's survey.

This is the raw data that W generated the well known manufacture date table from, and I prefer it by far to the table. There's a few pearls scattered throughout, and a few oddities. Be sure to use the various links at the top of the pages so you don't miss anything, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. You never know, you may spot a rifle in there that's in your safe. :thumbsup:

Your gas valve is probably in the off position. Look at the gas block, there should be a button. Press it down and rotate it right provided you have the 59/66 or 59/66A1
